<<Well, I've always liked Coldplay... Go on... Flame me. You know you wanna!>>
Not from me. I love Coldplay. Just listened to A Rush Of Blood To The Head yesterday. "Warning Sign" is still one of my favorite songs.

Wow that takes some guts to admit liking these guys. I personally could not.
Well they're not that bad.
Somehow, I have problems understanding how one can have guilty pleasure in arts. One can admit to porn-watching , sexual deviation, a strong penchant for the bottle, or feesting on cream puffs as being guilty pleasures, but in music?
I can even see it as far as TV shows are concerned. Or cartoons. But not music?
Then again, since I have perfect tastes I cannot go wrong, therefore everything I listen to is acceptable for everyone and if they don't like it, they've a problem and no taste.   
I do not have one single album I am embarrased to show to friends.

Well, I'm not so fond of the guys but more of the confused lady... And I'm certain that there is an artistic gold vein hidden within the more uninteresting stuff what they did.

Pozers, they are so much fun... to be honest I wouldn't listen to that at home but I would go to a club every now and then and laugh and move around...
And Enya, mellow to the bone but some of her tracks trully move me...
P.S. although what I trully feel guilty about are the greek pop songs that I don't feel offended by...

I don't feel guilty about anything in my collection. I believe
everything I have is tasteful and interesting, regardless if it's Prog
or not. When looking for new music to listen to, I am very selective. I
only choose bands/artists who meet my criteria for what good music
should sound like. I'm not embarrased to show any part of my music
collection to neither friends nor strangers.

Pomp Rockers Angel reissue of their first two albums is the most recent add to my collection that can be called a guilty pleasure.
In general, Pomp Rock, AOR and 80s Rock is my guilty pleasures.

The only CD I can think of that is somewhat embarrassing & I like a lot is
Alice Deejay - Who needs guitars anyway (=very melodic Trance)
I am not embarrassed by the liking of (a.o.) Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Live, Coldplay, Eurythmics and Fisher Z, those I think are great bands (artists) but not Prog.

Yuuuuuuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.................. 
That is not guilty pleasures anymore, more like complete and dangerous deviance.   
And it should be punished with a guilty sentence for life

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen

Can I just say I love Curved Air and don't care who knows about it- I don't feel ashamed about it, either.

Guilty of enjoying a fair bit of pop on the local commercial radiostations. Totally unrepentant.

I have been thinking about it a lot lately, and after reading the opinions in here, it's amazing what differences we all have in our tastes. For instance, I love much of the 70's and 80's and just abhor most of the 90's and 00's. So, for me, in this forum, my guilty pleasures are different than say an 80's forum. That said here is a list of music I have grown to love over the years, but could be considered a guilty pleasure:
Meatloaf, REO, Pat Benatar, Eagles, Don Henley, Kiss, Heart, Foreigner, some Bee Gees (before SNF), Judas Priest, Bad Company, Ted Nugent, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Def Leppard, some Whitesnake, Lita Ford, Joan Jett, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jim Croce, Harry Chapin, ELO, Paul McCartney and Wings, The Cars, The Shirts, Blondie, early Elton John (Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy is a GREAT album), some Duran Duran... you get the picture....
So, I listen to all types of music, classical, jazz, rock, heavy metal, folk, new wave, and, especially, progressive.
BTW, it absolutely broke my heart that CBGB's closed recently...

My guilty pleasure is one song by Eiffel 65. Blue (Da Ba Dee).
I feel so horrible but this was played on the radio a lot when I was younger and I am addicted to it for some reason.

My greatest guilty listening pleasures are (non-prog and even non-(non-prog)) ... old video games music ! 
Sounds are quite dated, but some songs are just amazing for the
electronica fan (for example Turrican's soundtracks by Chris Huelbeck,
one of the best music of video games), and there are even "progressive"
tunes which last more than 20 minutes with changements in it !
If played with electric guitar, certain tracks should sound like progressive metal...
This is my child-ish guilty pleasure
